John Baird
born 1665 in Limberton, Aldlothian, Scotland and died April 1755 (one
account states that he died at the age of 90. However, based on the

wrong here.) He lived in Aberdeenshire, Scotland Aug 28, 1683 and was
deported from Scotland to America for 4 year's service. Lived near Marlboro,
NJ.

But that one little tidbit of information might have taken years to find ...
